Shopping for a new fence can be a frustrating experience. You’ve looked at websites, seen the options, and you think you know what would look great at your home–a fence that will give your family security and privacy for years to come. But you’ve also learned that you can’t just get a price online for the fence you want–there are too many variables. With all the options (and red flags) out there, how can you get real fencing quotes without feeling like you’re getting taken advantage of? Here are some of the most common questions about fencing quotes we receive at Superior Fence & Rail of Pensacola.
Q1: How do I get an accurate fencing quote in the Pensacola area?
A: The best quotes come from contractors who actually visit your property, measure carefully, and discuss the various fence types that could work for your yard. Beware of “ballpark” prices that don’t include labor, permits, or removal of old fencing.
Many fence companies subcontract installation, which means they lose some control over the labor costs. Superior Fence & Rail performs all installation in-house, with a pledge to leave the site clean and the customer satisfied. We have an industry-leading 98% on-time rate.
Q2: Why do fencing quotes vary so much between contractors?
A: Quotes reflect differences in material quality, installation methods, and warranty. In Pensacola, coastal weather means you’ll want materials and construction that can handle humidity, salt air, and storms. Low quotes often cut corners here.
Superior Fence & Rail doesn’t try to race to the bottom to match the low-cost fence contractors on price. We believe that by selling a quality product backed with excellent service and warranties we will earn the trust of our customers. This philosophy has helped us grow for over 20 years.
Q3: How long does it take to get fencing quotes in Pensacola?
A: Most reputable contractors can schedule a site visit within a week and provide a written quote within 48 hours after that. If someone’s vague or slow to respond, that’s a red flag.
Charging for estimates can be another red flag. Ask up front if the contractor provides free fencing quotes, and be suspicious if the answer is no. Estimates are always free at Superior Fence & Rail.
Q4: How many fencing quotes should I get?
A: Three quotes are typically suggested. Comparing gives you a sense of the market, but make sure you’re comparing apples to apples–vinyl vs vinyl, wood vs wood–not just lowest number vs highest. Remember, items like warranties can make a big difference on the bottom line.
A lifetime transferable warranty, standard with Superior Fence & Rail vinyl and aluminum fence, is a valuable commodity that can greatly extend the life of your fence. Take all these features into account when evaluating the contractors you select.
Q5: Do fencing quotes in Pensacola include severe wind resistance features?
A: Good ones should. Ask about post depth, concrete setting, and wind ratings. A slightly higher quote may actually save you money when the next storm rolls through.
Superior Fence & Rail is a Florida fence company, and we designed our products to meet the extreme demands of the Atlantic and Gulf Coasts. Our vinyl panel fence is 43% heavier than industry standards and has proprietary engineering features that allow it to withstand high winds, earning it the coveted Notice of Acceptance from Miami-Dade County for exceeding wind load specifications.
Q6: How do I know if I’m getting a fair fencing quote?
A: Look for transparency, warranty, and references. A good contractor in Pensacola will be licensed, insured, and happy to provide customer reviews. No insurance or bonding is a huge red flag. It might mean the contractor would be prohibited from working in your community if you have a HOA, or could leave you in serious jeopardy in the event of an accident or property damage event.
